Re: Driverless cars could be lethal - FBI

[Stephanie Daugherty <sdaugherty () gmail com>]

Most likely, it's not a concern, as the fundamental programming of
driverless cars are to:
a) avoid collisions at all costs
b) follow all traffic laws perfectly

Given that the default action if anything unexpected happens is to stop and
safe the vehicle, using any of the automated cars currently in development
in this manner would end very poorly for someone trying to evade pursuit.
